THE HIKE
Raccoon Trail is approximately a 2.5–3-mile loop with about 500 feet of elevation gain. It’s a moderate hike with some uphill and uneven sections. We’ll take a social pace, with stops for photos, snacks, and enjoying the scenery.
Plan on spending about 2–3 hours hiking and hanging out. We expect to return to Target around 5–6 p.m., depending on traffic, parking, and the group’s pace.
PARKING & PARK ENTRY
Fall is a busy time at the park, so we encourage everyone to carpool!
Budget $12–$17 per vehicle for park entry unless the vehicle already has a valid Colorado state parks pass, including the Keep Colorado Wild Pass.
If you plan to meet us at the park, let us know beforehand so we can meet up there.
WHAT TO BRING
• Plenty of water
• Snacks or a packed lunch
• Comfortable hiking shoes with good traction
• Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat
• A warm layer and a rain/wind jacket
• A small backpack
• Your camera or phone for photos!
Fall colors vary with the weather, so we can’t promise peak leaves, but we’re looking forward to a beautiful afternoon with friends!
Please mark yourself “Going” if you plan to join us and check the event before leaving for any weather, parking, or route updates.
